Chapter 4 Summary
Information Resources on the Web
Reading about buying products online made me realize how much I rely on the internet for shopping. I shop online all the time for almost everything. I often buy wrestling figures I can't find anywhere else, and it feels special knowing that I own something rare. Online shopping is convenient because I can get things from anywhere without driving long distances, but packages sometimes get lost or take a long time to arrive.
This chapter showed me that some sellers are business, and some are individuals, so I’ll be smarter when choosing where to buy. I didn’t realize how much works goes into running an online store, from the marketing to the customer service things. Learning this helped me to see both the advantages and disadvantages of online shopping, and it will make me more careful and thoughtful about using the web in the future.
